language, or any other status.
Some fundamental human rights include:
Right to life – Everyone has the right to live and be protected.
Right to freedom – People have the right to think, speak, and move freely.
Right to equality – Everyone should be treated equally without discrimination.
Right to education – Every person has the right to receive an education.
Right to work – People have the right to work under fair and safe conditions.
Right to health – Everyone has the right to access healthcare and enjoy good health.
Right to freedom of religion – People are free to practice the religion of their choice
or none at all.
These rights are recognized internationally in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights,
which was adopted by the United Nations in 1948.
Simple definition:
Human rights are the basic rights and freedoms that every person is entitled to, simply
because they are human.
